Frequently Asked Questions — Embraer

Is the Embraer Phenom 300 the best-selling light jet?

Yes. The Embraer Phenom 300/300E has been the world best-selling light jet for over a decade, claiming more than half of the light jet market share since 2012. By 2019, Embraer had delivered 500+ Phenom 300s. The aircraft combines light-jet economics with midsize-jet performance: 453 knot max cruise speed, 2,010 nm range, and PW535E engines with industry-leading 5,000-hour TBO. The Prodigy Touch avionics system (based on Garmin G3000) is considered best-in-class. Its dominance makes it the benchmark against which all light jets are measured.

Embraer Phenom 300 vs Cessna CJ3 — which light jet is better?

The Phenom 300E and Citation CJ3+ are top competitors in the light jet market. The Phenom 300E is faster (453 kts vs 416 kts), has longer range (2,010 nm vs 1,875 nm), and a quieter cabin. The CJ3+ has a more established service network through Cessna/Textron and slightly lower acquisition cost. Both have excellent safety records. The Phenom 300 outsells the CJ3+ significantly, which means better resale value and more market data for buyers. On AeroGurus, we list both Embraer and Cessna Citation jets for easy comparison.

How much does an Embraer Phenom 300 cost to operate?

The Phenom 300E operates at approximately $1,800-$2,200 per hour variable cost, making it one of the most efficient jets in its class. Annual fixed costs (crew, hangar, insurance, management) add $300,000-$450,000. New Phenom 300Es list around $10.5 million; used examples from 2015-2020 trade at $6-9 million. The PW535E engines are known for reliability with a 5,000-hour TBO — significantly longer than many competitors — reducing long-term engine maintenance costs.

Does Embraer make good private jets?

Embraer is the third-largest aircraft manufacturer in the world and brings commercial aviation engineering to business jets. Their lineup spans the Phenom 100EV (entry light jet), Phenom 300E (light jet), Praetor 500 (midsize), and Praetor 600 (super-midsize).

Embraer jets have a strong safety record with only 3 hull-loss accidents across the entire Phenom 300 fleet. The company is publicly traded (NYSE: ERJ) with stable long-term support commitment.
